See the tallest cathedral in Scandinavia and admire the twin Gothic spires of Uppsala Domkyrka. Situated between Uppsala University and River Fyris, the cathedral stands nearly 122 m (400 ft) tall. You will recognize the 13th-century structure by its rose-hued exterior. Tour the site, originally designed by French architects in the French-Gothic style, and view its impressive features, including its treasury museum and chapels. Though the structure was damaged in a fire in the 18th century, the church today has been completed restored to its former glory.

This is the best church or cathedral I have been so far. Such a majestic building from outside and inside. You can easily spend a few hours marvelling at the architecture and detailing. We happened to visit on a Sunday noon and got to have a glimpse as the service wrapped up. It's a truly awe-inspiring structure. Well worth the day trip from Stockholm.

Simply amazing in every sense! Beautiful architecture inside and out. Really grandiose in terms of size and works of art. Inside you will see gorgeous pipe organ and if you’re lucky enough to hear it you will be speechless for sure. So much history there. A must see if you are visiting Uppsala!
-
Gorgeous brick work and impressive spires on the outside bring scope to the fantastic interior. Admission to the church is free, to see the great treasures that survived the fire in the 1700s, there is a cost. Recommend getting the guide book from the gift shop before wandering, as the free pamphlet only touches lightly on all the church has to offer for sight seeing.

Beautiful cathedral and awesome building that shows the historic construction of the past. It’s a symbol of Uppsala and Sweden due to its tremendous architecture that attracts the tourists. Located in the old town of Uppsala and easy to visit.

There are so many things to see in this cathedral. It’s just amazing! I was really surprised in a good way. You should have at least 20 minutes to see everything but if you speak Swedish or Latin twice the time. 10/10 and totally for free.
